AI company marketing is pretty overwhelmingly "we're going to take away your job and leave to you stave on the streets". People concluding that the public face of this is their enemy who must be stopped is just a really unsurprising outcome.

That is what Ilya (and many other employees) (fore)saw.
They did not want a target painted on their backs or being involved with the company responsible for taking other peoples jobs.
Let's hope that SF doesn't turn into a free-for-all after the IPOs, since the silliest thing is for everyone to move to SF and buy up the houses and then the have-not's realise who got rich.
I'd donate that money away or give the employees a raise like the five-guys owner [0] to not be a target.
